One pic......:bored:

:tomato:


I also looked around for shits and giggles. There is a nice 2007 Formula Red S2K over here in West Chester. Posted on craigslist. Looks to be very well maintained. For 18.5K.

Ken...just curious how those seats are on a long trip? I don't get much of a long-term check moving them at work but they seem to be quite firm.

They're very firm, my lower back is a bit sore. And they're a bit too narrow for me in the shoulders. I might need to do something about it. Gotta check my options.

The ride isnt harsh at all.

:drool: Congrats Ken

Conrats! :drool:

:yum: Love it!

Nice, need interior photos.

I'll take some this afternoon :)

Congrats! :woot:

Detail about the deal?

congrats ken! time to de-smurf =P

How much did you pay, if you dont mind me asking? Private sale or dealer?

Very jelly.

I hear the stock suspension is the best on these cars

^ Doesnt surprise me.

De-smurf?

The '06 has a black dash and black door panels :)

It looks MUCH better (IMO) than the previous years.

Dealer

Just over $23,000 including a 3 year warranty. Considering the pristine condition and its service history, I feel its a VERY fair price. Paperwork took less than 10 minutes ;)

For road conditions I'd agree. It's very compliant with very little lean. I'd be worried about bump oversteer if it were any stiffer.

Nice Suzuka. Great car.

You can get any aftermarket racing seat that fits you.
I got the Backyard Special lowered seatrail and it drops the seat bottom about an inch (helped me fit better with a helmet and better visibility over/under the top of the windshield), but the back stays same height, so you hit the back a bit lower (might solve the shoulder issue)

:sad:

Nice, very clean and classy. It took a while to find, enjoy it.

the black interior of your suzuka is much better than all blue interior :thumbsup:

DEFINITELY. It makes all the difference to me. I'm also glad they used a darker blue for the carpeting and seats. Quite surprised they didn't figure that out sooner... but then maybe not. Honda confuses me at times.

I'm going to get this thing dyno tested eventually.. I removed the top half of the airbox, it growls :)

According to Temple of VTEC and others, the AP2's put down around 240whp. Thats just incredible..

240Whp? You sure? I thought they were rated at that but wheel HP wasn't even close. Maybe I am mistaken

It's higher on a dynapack. On a dynojet, it's gonna be around 200 whp

Yep, it was on a dynapack.

AP1 vs AP2

Hell, in the comments section I'm chattering away on there in late 2003, I've been wanting one of these for a while now.. :tomato:

wheels purchased. 17x9 with 255 wide hankook r-s3 rubber

looking around for a front sway bar now to keep it balanced. STR here I come!

KEN DID IT! :woot: :woot: :drag: :thumbsup: :fluffy: :yes:

I leave the forum for a few days and this happens.

This day shall be forever remembered in AZ history.

Congrats, bro! It's about damn time!

nice!

Finally caught it in another thread by looking under your name. Congrats Ken!

What? You didn't consider a BR-Z?

Beautiful pickup and definitely a fair deal. Congratulations. Hopefully I'm only a year or two behind you. :wish:

S2K or BRZ ? S2K or BRZ ? S2K or BRZ ? I still dont know :shrug:

drive both? I'd bet the S2k will be more fun. BRZ looks nice on the inside though

I wouldve gotten an S2k if insurance didnt suck on it.

Its worth looking into. Mine didn't go up anywhere near what I thought it would.

mine went up about $10 a month, and that includes switching off my parent's plan and onto my own (full coverage, 23, one ticket)

:what: :run: I wanna see, I wanna see. :D

don't do that. It sounds nice but it has been proven for years that you lose power if you drive with the lid off.

Also AP2 stock is around 210 whp. Ap1 is around 200. but it doesn't matter because they all feel slow because of lack of torque.
